The battle occurred near Dublin, on the northern shores of the River Liffey, and became a symbol of Irish resistance to Viking influence.  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/46e8d340-0a24-11f1-a70f-b15bde9c1f1d-rimg-w740-h740-dcf6f6f6-gmir.jpg FESTIVAL:Expect Viking combat shows, white singing, children’s crafts, scouting skills like first aid and forest survival, feasting, folk music, and traditional cuisine.We want to highlight the parallels between the Scandinavian settlers (often called Vikings) and today's migration – people searching for a new life and a place to grow. Far from the stereotype of bloodthirsty warriors, we will show how Scandinavians enriched Irish culture (and vice versa!), and how their presence influenced Ireland’s economic and social development.A shared love of history unites Poles and the Irish. Together, with passion, knowledge, and openness, we will tell this story. We believe that by rediscovering the past, we come to better understand one another, building a community rooted in respect, identity, and mutual understanding.That is why our event aims to bring closer two worlds that may seem far apart on the map, yet are deeply connected through culture and history.Meet and welcome our groups and guests from Ireland and Poland as they join us in celebrating the Polish–Irish Festival in Inchicore:  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/47169a00-0a24-11f1-b6c3-c3694e9a4e40-rimg-w987-h740-dca8a294-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/474c28f0-0a24-11f1-8e72-eb9923d9d6b2-rimg-w493-h740-dc332f29-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/476f6860-0a24-11f1-b6c3-c3694e9a4e40-rimg-w493-h740-dc33302d-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/479b8170-0a24-11f1-b6c3-c3694e9a4e40-rimg-w1110-h740-dc171617-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/480036b0-0a24-11f1-8e72-eb9923d9d6b2-rimg-w1110-h740-dc1a1917-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/482ff940-0a24-11f1-8e72-eb9923d9d6b2-rimg-w1111-h740-dc2f4714-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/486bf0d0-0a24-11f1-a70f-b15bde9c1f1d-rimg-w1111-h740-dc050505-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/48ad66a0-0a24-11f1-a70f-b15bde9c1f1d-rimg-w1110-h740-dc667443-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/48d476a0-0a24-11f1-b6c3-c3694e9a4e40-rimg-w987-h740-dc7b7873-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/49028b80-0a24-11f1-b6c3-c3694e9a4e40-rimg-w1110-h740-dc5f6243-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/49331160-0a24-11f1-b6c3-c3694e9a4e40-rimg-w493-h740-dc2f2d2d-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/495b32d0-0a24-11f1-a70f-b15bde9c1f1d-rimg-w1110-h740-dc171916-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/4981cda0-0a24-11f1-8e72-eb9923d9d6b2-rimg-w1110-h740-dcc1c5c4-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/49ed39a0-0a24-11f1-b6c3-c3694e9a4e40-rimg-w1110-h740-dcd3dbde-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/4a1e5bc0-0a24-11f1-8e72-eb9923d9d6b2-rimg-w1200-h709-dc5f7279-gmir.jpg
